Indian Ber contain good source of ascorbic acid and total phenolics. Despite being rich in antioxidants it is an underutilized fruit. Effect of processing on antioxidant activity of ber fruit was studied. Antioxidant activity of ber fruit was evaluated by different methods viz. DPPH radical activity, reducing power assay, superoxide anion radical activity, TBARS, total phenolic content and tota...

A response surface approach was used to investigate the effects of temperature, concentration, and time on the antioxidant properties (total flavonoid (TF), total phenol (TP), peroxide scavenging activity (PS), iron chelating activity (IC), DPPH radical-scavenging ability (DPPH), ABTS assay (ABTS)) of aqueous extract of tea-ginger (2:1) powder. Color indices, pH, and redox potential of the tea-...

background: autoxidation is considered to be the main route of edible oil deterioration, which produces undesirable odors and flavors (attributed to primary and secondary products of unsaturated fatty acids) during storage and heating. objective: antioxidant activities of zataria multiflora (zmeo) and bunium persicum (bpeo) essential oils (eos) in linseed oil (containing higher ω-3 in vegetable...

A rapid and simple method has been developed for the screening and identification of natural antioxidants from the leaves of Acer ginnala Maxim.( AG). The process is that upon reaction with 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), the white yellow spots of compounds with potential antioxidant effects will be significantly observed on the thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and possible structures wil...

the in vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the essential oil and methanolic extract of achillea sieheana staf. (asteraceae) were investigated in this study. the chemical composition of the essential oil isolated by hydro-distillation from the aerial parts of a. sieheana was analyzed by gc–ms. camphor (43.36%), artemisia ketone (25.95%), 1.8-cineole (6.29%) and camphene (4.77%) wer...

Garcinia atroviridis (Clusiaceae) has been used as a postpartum medication agent in folkloric medicine. However, its biological potential has not been fully evaluated. The present study was aimed to evaluate the antioxidant efficacies, cholinesterase enzyme inhibitory and antimicrobial activity of the stem bark extracts of G. atroviridis. Successive extraction was done using solvents of varied ...

although several methods have been developed to make gamma-aminobutyric acid (gaba) accumulate in tea, the active ingredients and health benefits vary widely depending on the manufacturing process of tea products. in this study, the levels of bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity in tea leaves given the continuous anaerobic condition were investigated. gaba and other free amino acids suc...

Antioxidant potency of Indian grape cultivars varying in their skin color, seed and polyphenol content (Bangalore blue, Pandhari sahebi, Sharad seedless and Thompson seedless) and their components (whole grapes, pulp with skin and seeds) was examined as 2,2'-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity using electron spin resonance spectrometry. The total polyphenols in Indian g...
